[Ankur Bawiskar]

Some times we require to fetch/print the choice values/labels of a field to perform some validations or print them in an email notifications etc.

So here is a sample script which can be utilized and re-used as per the business requirement.

Note: This works in both global and scoped application

I just took an example of incident and change_request table and field as close_code

Script: For incident table

var choices = GlideChoiceList.getChoiceList("incident", "close_code");

for (var i = 0; i < choices.getSize(); i++){
		var choiceValue = choices.getChoice(i).getValue();
		var choiceLabel = choices.getChoice(i).getLabel();
		gs.info("Choice Label -> " + choiceLabel + " Choice Value ->" + choiceValue);
	
}

Choice Table:

Another Example for change_request table and field as close_code

		var choiceValue = choices.getChoice(i).getValue();
		var choiceLabel = choices.getChoice(i).getLabel();
		gs.info("Choice Label -> " + choiceLabel + " Choice Value ->" + choiceValue);
